[dokuwiki] Re: Result of running http://www.jslint.com/ on the "discussion" plugin's file named "script.js"

Like a lot of such tools, this one seems to be a purist. It seems to want 
brackets after the if statements:
if(x) {
  blah_blah;

In fact, Flanagan, in section 6.3 of Javascript The Definitive Guide
(O'Reilly), defines the if statement without brackets:
   if(expression)
       statement
Judging from this lint's output there's nothing wrong with the script. The 
discussion plugin, which I use, works without error.
I think having the brackets will be much safer since dokuwiki concat all the 
plugin scripts into one single big block


It shouldn't matter.
I should amend that: It shouldn't matter as long as the expression is followed by a semi-colon. JS doesn't require a semi-colon as long as the expression is on a line by itself. 
     if(expression)
        statement
